Introduction 

The notion  of language learning strategies  (LLS) has become firmly  established during the past 30 years in  the  field  of Second Language  Acquisition (Cohen & Macaro, 2007). The definition of LLS dates back  to Rubin (1975, p. 43): "the techniques or devices which a learner may  use to  acquire  knowledge." Researchers in  the  1970s (e.g.,  Naiman. 

Frohlich,  Stern,  & Todesco,  1978; Rubin,  1975; Stern,  1975) initially  attempted to  identify  characteristics  of good language learners.  Since  then, LLS research has received more and more attention, culminating in  the  l 990s in  the publication of a large body of representative literature  (e.g., O'Malley & Chamot, 1990; Oxford, 1990). 

In  recent  years,  it  may be argued that  the  notion of LLS has  undergone a revolutionary period,  and the  term is  being replaced by 

"strategic learning" under the concept of "selfregulated learning" (Rose,  2012).  According to  Zimmerman and Schunk (2011),  "selfregulated  learning  and performance refer to  the  processes  whereby learners  pe

sonallyactivate and sustain cognitions, affects, and behaviors that are  systematically oriented toward the attainment of personal goals" (p.  1).  Further,  the  paradigm is  interdisciplinary,  and bridges  cognitive,  sociocultural,  and affective  strands.  Therefore,  rescarche

smade an  attempt to cover various aspects of learning, and this approach raises the  potential for new research (Tseng, Dornyei, & Schmitt, 2006). 

Strategic Self‑Regulation (S R) Model 

Oxford (2011) developed the  Strategic  SelfRegulation  (S"R)  model  under the  concept of selfregulation.  She defined selfregulated  L2  learning strategies as "deliberate, goaldirected attempts to manage and  control  efforts  to  learn  the  L2. These strategies  are  broad,  teachable  actions that learners choose from among alternatives and employ for L2  learning  purposes" (p.  12).  Her definition  covers a wide

angeof  strategies  based on psychological,  sociocognitive,  and sociocultural  strands, offering cornerstones for strategies in affective and sociocultural  dimensions. 

Ox ford  (2011)  further extended the  classification  of LLS by  stretching the scope of metastrategies (e.g.,  planning, monitoring, and  evaluating)  with the  following three  major strategy  dimensions:  (a)  cognitive,  (b)  affective,  and (c)  socioculturalinteractive  (SI).
